However, perhaps they were simply ordered to do so.
No matter what, the group is now undoubtedly facing a desperate crisis.
Ross clenched his teeth, his eyes flickered, and he felt as if something important was disappearing deep inside his body, and his body was gradually dominated by coldness.
As for Lionhead, although the damage to his body was gradually recovering thanks to the power of the holy sword - absorbing magic power within a certain range and healing ability - he still needed to consume a lot of energy to maintain the state of "Limit Breakthrough", so his condition was still very dangerous.
Not to mention Cui.
His greatest weapon was blocked, leaving him no chance to activate the Black Key, and his hands and feet were trembling from the effects of the weakening magic.
Everyone has reached their limit.
The only thing I gained was about ten minutes.
Even so──
"No, I still don't believe that 'absolute' exists."
“Who would despair?”
"That's right! We will never give up!"
"Eh? Is this the time to speak up? Okay, okay, let Cui say something too. Ahem—Hey! You little brats! You better wake up! From a genetic point of view, you're the ones who will definitely be bald in the future!"
Never give up until the very end, resist and struggle to the end.
Although it seems like there's someone who's contradicting the idea that nothing is absolute, and even speaking ill of others...
And that bald uncle who believed that nothing was absolute had veins popping out of his head...
"Tsk, what a ridiculous bunch of guys!"
"He is incorrigible and ultimately a great sinner who has abandoned his faith."
But even in just ten minutes, and with their rebellious intentions—
"Looks like we've caught up."
""!?"
Always able to open up the future.
A new voice emerged from behind Shem.
Before he knew it, there was a man behind him.
"You are... the Liberator Nizu—"
"Let's get some sleep."
Shem turned his head quickly. Suddenly, a hand gently, even tenderly, pressed against his forehead.
There was a "pa" sound, like high-fives.
At the same time, Shem rolled his eyes. The second staff fell to the ground with a clang, and he fell to his knees.
He had a concussion. It seemed that no matter how much his body was strengthened, it couldn't withstand the sudden impact of the spatial vibration on his head.
"Tsk, Bexiu!"
Knight Besh, wielding the Second Holy Bow, immediately raised his bow and took aim. However, Nizu was no longer there.
Then, a huge roar was heard from above, and bright moonlight illuminated the battlefield.
The cold air poured down like a downdraft.
The fierce wind and biting cold, mixed with tiny shards of ice, caused Kaim and the knights to quickly cover their faces and tense their bodies.
At this time, five more black shadows fell from the sky.
"What's going on again!?"
Kaim and several knights quickly leaped back. A moment later, the massive creature plummeted into the river, sending up a violent splash.
The falling shadows turned out to be the dragons that had been circling in the sky, the four dragons that Kaim and his companions had ridden.
After a beat of time, the last black shadow landed.
"Finally found you, Royce Byrne!"
It was a massive and powerful ice dragon—no, a diamond dust of shattered ice reflecting the moonlight, gradually shrinking, and finally a figure emerged—it was Bandu.
"Finally, I'm here! This time, I'm sure we'll win! Anyway, you guys are so slow! Idiots, idiots!"
"Ah, this guy is still just as annoying."
Bandu said this and blew a whistle at the same time. Immediately, two beasts rushed out from the forest on both sides, as fast as lightning.
They were two of Bandu's three strongest servants—the flying dragon Uruluk and the ice wolf Kuo.
Uruluk spewed scorching flames at the knights surrounding Lionhead, while Kuo spewed out a large number of ice spears and attacked the two knights surrounding Cui with his super-fast minions.
This perfectly coordinated attack momentarily distracted Kaim. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Natsu appeared.
He came up to Rouse.
"...You've been treated terribly."
"It's not that bad, it's still far from fatal."
Regardless of Sharon's stunned surprise, the two started to chat as soon as they met.
“You…! — [Great Sky Flash]!”
Kaim turns back, as if awakening from a dream, and unleashes a massive slash of light.
However, Nizu vanished again in an instant. Of course, Rouse and Sharon vanished with him as well.
The massive slash of light missed, only splitting the riverbank and creating a small tributary.
Natsu then moved to Cui's side.
"Mr. Rouse! Has he been targeted?!"
Cui asked, almost screaming. One of her hands hung limply, her injuries so severe that she couldn't move at all.
Although he wanted to use Natsu's teleportation ability to escape to a safe place immediately, he couldn't enter any base unless he found a way to deal with Kaim's tracking ability.
In this case, the worst-case scenario is to subdue Kaim and take him away with us.
"I already know the spell he used and can dispel it at any time."
Although dying, Rolls still spoke with determination.
Listening to the two of them talking, Natsu had a rough idea of the situation. He touched Cui's shoulder and asked for confirmation.
"Is everything alright?"
"Alright! Just tuck your tail between your legs and run!"
The enemy dragons have all been defeated. In that case, I'll let Bando take Leanhead and escape, and then I can use my teleportation ability to pick them up later.
Rouse looked at Kaim and Shem, but only for a brief moment.
Although I really wanted to subdue them and take them with me, I couldn't bring myself to make such a willful request under these circumstances.
So, he could only grit his teeth and nod reluctantly. But...
Even though he had the heart to abandon his two sons, his judgment seemed not to be quick enough.
"Thorne! Don't let them get away!"
"As you command!"
Thorne, one of the knights holding the second holy sword who was originally confronting Ryanhead, turned around quickly and rushed towards Ross and others.
Why didn't he send knights with bows or use offensive magic himself to stop the transfer?
The answer will be revealed soon.
"Hmm, can't activate!?"
──Inherent magic to exorcise demons.
Its effect is to dispel magic, just like the [Lesin Grand Canyon]. Light Knight Thorn, wielding the Second Holy Sword, can create a space within a ten-meter radius centered on himself that forces magic to dissipate.
Knight Thorne approached Niz and swept his sword across.
Surprisingly, the second holy sword condensed light to form a blade, becoming as huge as a greatsword.
It seems that he can finely adjust the range of the magic dispelling.
(Not only does he prevent his opponent from using magic, but he can also use it as much as he wants. How tricky!)
Natsu muttered to himself as he stepped back and drew the double curved sword from his waist.
Realizing they couldn't move now, Ross and Cui quickly jumped back.
"Though I regret it, now that a user of Age of Gods magic has appeared, there's no time for despair. Everyone, listen! The ban on using inherent magic is lifted now! Beshu, keep a close eye on that beast!"
Shem has fainted, and of course, Cui can also use her inherent magic.
As she leaped back, her figure vanished as if blending into the scenery. But before she completely disappeared, Knight Beshu, wielding the Second Holy Bow, turned his gaze towards her.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!?”
Suddenly, Cui's whole body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and she fell to her knees on the spot.
──The inherent magic holy eye.
As long as you can focus your eyes on the target, you can arbitrarily inflict abnormal conditions such as "paralysis", "cognitive impairment", "auditory abnormalities", "phantom pain", and "loss of tactile sensation".
It wasn't just a mild symptom of unconsciousness. Simply gazing at the target with the Holy Eye could make their entire body feel like being shredded in a blender.
Of course, he did not forget to follow up with the Arrow of Light.
“Woof!”
At the critical moment, Kuo intervened between the two, crushed the arrow with his powerful jaws, and immediately sent a large number of ice pillars towards Knight Beshu, clamping him like a hail of bullets.
Even so, Beixiu's eyes remained fixed on Cui. He jumped around, making sure his eyes were always fixed on her, while using his powerful fighting skills to stop Kuo from interfering.
The situation on Rouse's side is also very critical.
"Father, no! Don't answer it!"
“──!”
The knight holding the second holy spear thrust forward.
The entire Holy Lance was wrapped in a magical light like haze. Even without Sharon's warning, Ross still had a bad premonition in his heart.
Rolls ripped off his coat and threw it over to block his opponent's view. He dodged, regardless of his embarrassment, and leaped aside with all his might.
The violent splash of water choked Sharon. Ross saw the second holy spear pierce the coat—no, that was not all.
"Is it...corrosion?"
The knight threw off the coat that was in the way. It immediately turned black and gradually disintegrated.
----The inherent magic of the Sacred Eclipse.
The inherent magic of the Light Knight, Touras, wielding the Second Holy Lance, can corrupt its targets. Simply by emitting corrosive magical light, he can create a terrifying field around him that rots everything except himself.
The reason why I didn't do that now is because—
"Die! Ros Byrne!"
Having the son kill his father with his own hands seemed to be a priority for them.
The undisguised malice from his own son made Royce grit his teeth. However, he couldn't move his body, so he had to hold Sharon tightly, at least to block the attack with his body.
"Don't even think about it!"
At the critical moment, Niz rushed over and intervened between the two, with Knight Thorn following closely behind.
After taking Kaim's blow, even without the ability to use magic, Nizu used his double-curved sword to simultaneously deal with two opponents—no, including Knight Tourex, a total of three.
"Damn it, get out of my way!"
"I want to."
"Then die in confusion! — 『Holy Guide』!"
“Huh!? This is…”
This was his inherent magic. By synchronizing souls, he could use it to locate locations, induce consciousness, and even read surface consciousness.
